WHAT IS SHRIMP?

SHRIMP stands for “Simple, Handy, Risk-based Integrity Management Plan.” It is an on-line tool  that operators of gas distribution systems may use to create a written Distribution Integrity Management Plan. DIMP rule as posted in the federal register as of December 4, 2009. SHRIMP produces a complete, written DIMP plan customized for the specific needs of the user. It is much more than a model plan. It is more like Turbo-Tax, which asks questions about a user’s finances and creates an income tax return ready to sign and submit. SHRIMP asks questions about the user’s distribution infrastructure and creates a written DIMP plan ready to implement. (The SIF always recommends that the SHRIMP plan be reviewed and updated occasionally so that SHRIMP updates and current gas system conditions are incorporated).
